Well, I'm gonna be naughty and treat myself too, Kim because I've decided that I don't like the £30 odd quids worth of Prisma's. I also don't know whether to get Copics or ProM's.

From what I've seen, they both do as well as each other, but....again from what I've seen, I think the promarkers blend better. Most of the Copic stuff I've seen, it's very difficult to see the different shades.

well you do the research and i shall copy you then i know the copics suggest that you buy 3 shades close together or something , a main one and one lighter shade and one darker shade to make blending and shading better , but that means that for each colour you have to have 3 shades !!!!!! oh i dont know its all confusing ,,,,,ruth come and sort us out

No, you're quite right, Kim. 3 shades per colour. Mind you, that goes with most things, including watercolours as you're well aware.

You can get by with less if you blend properly and I certainly won't be going to the expense of 3 of each colour. I'd skip the middle one and if you blend properly, you'd end up with a middle shade anyway as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, thinking about it. I might just go get my watercolours out and have a go again.

Well all I can say is that my colouring as improved using promarkers and a limited range at that, just watch me go when I have all 92 pens *drool* hehehe

Lou, just remember I have a coupon code if you spend £20 on promarkers you get 15% off (I stuck it on my desk and spotted it today) Let me know if you want the code, actually will go and pop it in my promarkers thread
